Everone loves an advent calendar, whether it's a traditional one with a little Father Christmas hanging on a string that you move from one pocket to another, or one with a string to pull that makes Father Christmas dance, or one with awful little chocolates that you'd shun every other month of the year, etc etc.

For the last few years I've had a cheese advent calendar but as per last year, I've not been able to find one so I’ve done this again.

The purists may argue that it's not technically an advent calendar and I suppose you could be right but each one does has 24 goodies, they're numbered but just not behind a door so I'm saying it's fair :cry:

With only a few days to go until December, what have you got?

You could at least have randomised the number order!

It's funny you say that. I did think it after I'd written on them but I've made up for it.

Although I couldn't get a cheese calendar, I did buy two of the Ilchester little cheese multipacks for three quid each. There's 12 in a pack for a total of 24 cheeses.

I've numbered them and they're in the fridge.

I use an Advent candle. You burn it off 1 day at a time until you reach 24 and each segment takes around 20-30 minutes to burn off. Have had a candle since around age 20 and I'm now 45.

We've got one of those as well, same thing, we had them when I was a kid and there was always an argument about who was going to light it and who was going to blow it out. We still do it and on Christmas Eve, we have to remember to light it a bit earlier than normal because we can't go to bed until it's burned out.

Last year we've got a fairly chunky pillar candle advent candle, last year it was this.
